The Lakota East girls' track team used their dominance in sprint events to capture the Division I Southwest District track meet on Friday night at Winton Woods High School.  East totalled 121 points to outdistance second place McAuley's 112. The two schools went back and forth all night before East took the lead for good in the third-to-last event when Autumn Heath and sophomore Kellsa Mbah finished 1-2 in the 200.

“We knew it was going to be close, but that was huge for us at that point,” said Lakota East coach John Lindeman.  "Winning this thing is huge for us – especially beating McAuley, because they're one of the class teams in the city. Beating them shows we're solidifying ourselves and giving us the confidence to go on to Regionals next week." MORE

The Lakota East Athletic Department is teaming up with QuoteGuardian.com to launch a very important fundraising initiative. Click, Save and Raise (campaign name) will hopefully produce additional funds to support Thunderhawk athletes and their programs at the high school. 

"QuoteGuardian.com is providing Lakota East with a very generous opportunity to raise much needed athletic resources," said East Athletic Director Richard Bryant. "We think we have found a very unique fundraising program that is simple and easy, but could also provide a direct savings to our supporters. We need everyone, (coaches, parents/families, staff, boosters, fans, etc.) to get involved with this to make it successful."

UNLIKE MANY TRADITIONAL FUNDRAISING PROGRAMS, THERE IS NOTHING TO PURCHASE OR CONTRIBUTE!

Participants are asked to CLICK on the link above, and complete a request for insurance quotes for their auto, home and life. There is absolutely no obligation to purchase anything. In many cases participants discover they are paying too much and can SAVE on their current premiums. In other cases the service acts as a checkup to confirm that their current costs are satisfactory. Each quote that is submitted generates $20 for auto, $20 for home, and $25 for life (total $65). Submissions are made via the QuoteGuardian.com link and will immediately RAISE funds for Lakota East Athletics. The average time to submit a typical quote for most participants is only 10-15 minutes. 

QUOTEGUARDIAN.COM NIGHT AT HAWKS NEST...FRIDAY OCTOBER 21ST!

Friday's home football game versus Princeton has been designated as QuoteGuardian.com Night at Thunderhawk Stadium. Representatives will be located near the main gate to answer any questions and pass out information about the program. Every adult at the stadium will be encouraged to take home a card with the simple instructions on how to support the fundraising effort. Your quote can be submitted NOW by clicking the link above.

The athletic department is targeting a minimum of 500 responders who will submit three quotes for auto, home and life and help raise an amount of over $30,000. The possibility exists to raise even larger amounts from the expected strong support of our loyal Lakota East Community.

WE CAN DO THIS WITH EVERYONES PARTICIPATION! CLICK ABOVE...FIND OUT HOW MUCH YOU CAN SAVE AND HELP US RAISE!
